ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office said on Thursday that the government is continuing sustained diplomatic and operational efforts to secure the release of Pakistani nationals held by Somali pirates for nearly two months.
The MT Honour 25, carrying 17 crew members including 10 Pakistanis, was hijacked on April 21 near Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region. The crew has remained in captivity for around 50 days, while families have raised concerns over worsening conditions onboard.
